Beach Bliss
A stunning pristine white beach, clear turquoise waters, sunny skies. The stunning white beach is typical of what can be found all along Scotland's north-western coastline. Seen on a glorious day in early October!
This view shows the main beach at Achmelvich (Gaelic: Achadh Mhealbhaich) in Sutherland. The name comes from the Gaelic "Achadh" - a plain or meadow and "mealvaich" - sandy dunes. It is a (very) small settlement at the far end of a single-track road with a Youth Hostel (seen on the right above), campground, caravan park, laundrette, shop and take-away.
Dogs are banned from the beach during the main tourist season and are also not permitted at the campground and caravan park.
